The Deathstroke wave is still plentiful and clogging pegs in every store in my area. I keep hoping Manta and Reverse Flash will eventually show up, but I don’t have a lot of hope that will happen.

Sorry, guys, I think I saw Aquaman movie Manta and crossed that with the Super Powers stuff I also saw at GameStop.

I got the newest wave today.  I ordered a case plus an extra Hal and Sinestro to open.  GL is really nice, but I have the old one, so it's nothing new.  Sinestro is the standout. I'm so happy to finally have him in this style.  The rest of the wave is just ok to me.  I got them to keep carded, but I wouldn't have been upset if I wasn't able to find them.  I feels it's an overall weak wave with two great figures.

from where? I’m looking for the all black Batman from the previous wave and the all gold one from this wave…

@dhunter333 I got them from EE.  I may be wrong, but I think the gold Batman was only available as a single at the McFarlane shop.

That looks like so much fun!  It has to mean Brainiac is in the next wave, right?

Although I wish it was a little rounder to make it more comic accurate, I would've gone crazy for this ship as a kid. Dirty pool that this and the Jokermobile were used in the mini comics but never made back then!

I'm sorry; that looks like bottom-tier Lanard shit.  Cheap bastard can't even make fully-tubular tentacles, we gotta get that hollowed-out cheapness for the very first BrainiShip to ever have existed in toy form?  One has to assume the Blue Beetle Bug is gonna be just as weak.

I'm with you Adrien. This looks like a slightly oversized Happy Meal toy. Just put half a Brainiac popping out of it. The hollow arms really bother me too.

Apparently there will be a Gold Label ship too? Let's see if that one's any better.

Hell, it doesn't even look like the wheels on the bottom are real.  It's literally just two shells glued together with hollow appendages that are only molded as separate pieces so it'll all fit in the standardized box dimensions he's using.

The Brainiac Skull Ship is for Super Powers what the "Classic Superman" is for Multiverse. Half-assed, cheap, insulting. This was the last thing I was looking forward to this year from McFarlane. I'm done with Multiverse and SP now.

I'm less bothered by the hollow tentacles and more bothered by the lack of a closing cockpit. It's a space ship, the interior should be enclosed. This should have been designed around the $30 price point. I can only assume Blue Beetle's Bug will be the $30 ship, but I think the Skull Ship is higher profile and has more relevance to the classic Kenner line. I'm trying to imagine how Kenner would've treated this. Either way, I will pick this one up. Hopefully via Amazon, when the price drops to about $15.

I guess I'm just easy to please, because I'm perfectly happy with it for $20.  Sure, I'd like a better ship for $30, but the ship fits in perfectly fine with my 80's collection.

It is based on Kenner concept art. Whether or not they would have actually released it this way, who knows?
